TexRiv_63 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Very rare large original Stromberg model KR No. 2 bronze updraft carburetor. Made by the Stromberg Motor Devices Company in Chicago, IL. Online research indicates this type of carburetor was designed for and used on on the 1915 Jeffery 2 ton truck. This was probably the "Quad" 4-wheel drive truck using a Buda engine which Jeffery had developed in 1913 and was used extensively in World War 1. It may also have been used on stationary engines for agricultural and industrial applications or other vehicles. 8 3/4" long, 4 1/4" wide, 7" high, made of heavy cast bronze with brass fittings and steel screws. The mounting flange has a 1 7/16" throttle bore and mounting holes with 2 3/4" centers. The levers and plates for throttle and choke move freely along with the rotating collar at the air intake. A pad on one side shows the KR No. 2 model name with number 318947 stamped adjacent. The float chamber cover is marked "STROMBERG MOTOR DEVICES CO. CHICAGO PATENTS PENDING." This carburetor is in as found condition with only a light cleanup. It appears to be complete including the manifold mounting screws. It has some nicks and scratches but no dents or cracks, and does not show signs of corrosion. We have not disassembled it and we have no idea of its operating condition. This is a very rare piece with genuine patina and very hard to find, it would be a great display item, a nice core for parts or restoration to use on a vehicle. NOTE: This is being sold AS IS with no returns or guarantee. Make me a reasonable offer.
